It differentiates itself as a pure-play agriculture company formed from DowDuPont, with a push into biologicals and a plan to split into two independent companies (seeds and crop protection) by late 2026 to unlock specialized value. Its goal is to meet the food needs of a growing population and improve farm profitability and sustainability through innovation.
